    Ever wanted to make a picture from your favorite video/movie clip and turn it into an animated GIF? Well, here's a short tutorial for all of you -

    Step 1: Convert your video into a set of image frames:

    Head over to sourceforge and get this awesome tool: <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/FFmpeg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MPlayer for Win32/Win64 - Browse /FFmpeg at SourceForge.net</a>

    (PS: You might need the 7Zip utility to extract the files)

    Assuming that you extracted the contents to the C:/ of your computer, issue the following command in your DOS prompt (You can access it by typing CMD in your "start search" box in Windows)

    c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i mymovie.avi img-%03d.gif
    Note: Make sure that your movie file (mymovie.avi) is in the C:\ffmpeg\ folder. Otherwise replace the filename with complete path.

    If you wish to save a part of the clip, use following command -

    c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i mymovie.avi –ss 10 –t 5 img-%03d.gif
    In above command, the video will be cut at 10 seconds after the video starts and will be cut for the duration of 5 seconds. That is you will cut the video between 10 and 15 seconds.

    Make sure that the extension of your image files is '.gif'.

    Step 2: Download UnFreez (Freeware)

    Unfreez is a free utility that picks up specified set of GIF images and combines them into a single GIF.

    Download it from here: #-Link-Snipped-#

    Drag and drop the gif images that you created in step 1 into the Unfreez window and set a proper frame delay time.

    Done!

    Enjoy your animated gif videos.
